This Iranian Stew Is Simple, Classic, and Healthy to Boot

Ghormeh sabzi is a "set it and forget it"-style meal that packs tons of protein—and flavor.

Sure, there may just be a few weeks left of the winter chills (although, frankly, stews are great year-round). But in addition to being wonderfully comforting, tasty, and versatile, stews rule because you basically just have to throw a bunch of stuff in a pot and let it sit over heat for a while until all of the magical flavors of your ingredients meld into one delicious, easy dish.

Case in point: this ghormeh sabzi, a traditional Iranian dish that our very own culinary director Farideh Sadeghin often enjoyed with her family while growing up.
